One of Spring's wonders Narcissus in sunlight!
I love spring! I love to see life begin in the gardens and in the woods and marsh. I'll have to walk around several times during the day to allow the sun to move across the sky and bestow its magic on things that were earlier cloaked in shadow. I couldn't believe my luck when I found this cluster of narcissus with their leaves draped so beautifully. I had to lay down on the ground to get just the right perspective. I've painted a narcissus before and while it was a good painting I was never quite satisfied that I really captured that lovely translucent quality of the petals. Aside from just being a very beautiful subject, I wanted to try my hand again at narcissus petals. I'm very satisfied with the results and still have room to learn more.
